Navigating Tucker's Strategic Position
Tucker holds a unique position in the metro Atlanta landscape. As one of DeKalb County's most established communities, it serves as a major pass-through point for thousands of commuters every day. The intersection of I-285 and US-78 is one of the region's most active nodes, with the nearby I-285 at I-85 interchange (Spaghetti Junction) consistently ranked as the 4th worst truck bottleneck in the United States by the ATRI.
The Mountain Industrial Boulevard corridor is another significant area of interest. As a major employment center for the northeast metro area, this road handles heavy truck traffic and thousands of employee vehicles daily. Traffic safety is an active priority, as demonstrated by the $2.2 million safety improvement project on Chamblee Tucker Road, making real-time monitoring essential for local residents and regional travelers alike.
